Top 10 Reasons to buy Organic Food

1. Protect Future Generations
Because of their smaller size, children receive 4-5 times more exposure than adults to cancer causing pesticides in food.

2. Prevent Soil Erosion
Soil is the foundation of the food chain; conventional farming is responsible for unsustainable soil loss, but ordanic farming helps build the soil.

3. Protect Water Quality
The EPA estimates that pesticides pollute the primary source of drinking water for more than half the country's population.

4. Save Energy
Conventional farming uses more petroleum than any other single industry, and more energy is used to produce synthetic fertilizers than to cultivate harvest crops.

5. Keep chemicals off your Plate
Synthetic pesticides and herbicides are poisons designed to kill living organisms, and can also be harmful to human beings.

6. Protect Farm Workers
Farm workers have higher exposures to harmful pesticides.

7. Help Small Farmers
Most organic farms are small independently owned family farms.

8. Support a True Economy
Conventional food prices don't reflect hidden costs borne by taxpayers, including nearly $74 billion annually in federal subsidies.

9. Promote Biodiversity
Conventional mono-cropping, the practice of planting large plots of land with the same crop year after year, leads to a lack of natural diversity in plants, and leaves the soil lacking in natural minerals and nutrients.

10. Taste Better Flavor
Organic farming starts with the nourishment of the soil, which eventually leads to the nourishment of the plant, and ultimately our palates. Conduct your own taste test!
